Passions, desires, decisions made in haste?
“The moth unwitting rushes on the fire,
Through ignorance the fish devours the bait,
We men know well the foes that lie in wait,
Yet cannot shun the meshes of desire.”
BHARTRHARI
~
Human nature, at its best, had always been based on a deep heroic restlessness,
on wanting something–something else, something more,
whether it be true love or a glimpse just beyond the horizon.
It was the promise of happiness, not the attainment of it,
that had driven the entire engine, the folly and glory of who we are.
WILL FERGUSON

Want is a growing giant whom the coat of have was never large enough to cover.

Late afternoon in an ICU Waiting Room
Keep it simple and doable…centered in patience, love and balance. I believe we will need it this coming year.
